The Hagerstown Mail says that last
week Mr.. Beeler and his wife, of
Tilghmanton, drove over to Williams
port to sell lot of brooms OF their own
manufacture. Mr.. Beeler is 50 years of
age, Mrs. Beeler is sc, aud the horse

An old fisherman has discovered a
new and lively bait for bass in snakes
tails. He says as a snakes tail does not
die until shutdown, it keeps wriggling
about IN the water all day. With one
bait of snakes tail he claims to have
landed eight large bass. While there
may be something in this idea, it looks
a good bit like combination fish and
snake story.
The date of the Luther Reunion at

fisherman's Mecca, and numerous camp
ing parties have located OIL the river

three young gentlemen from Washing
ton are Low camped out at Mint Spring,
above town, and will remain as long as

Captain Donaldson has had charge of
Antietam National Cemetery for eight
years, and during that period he has

of woods not two miles from the home
from which she had strayed. The body
was i'm terribly mutilated condition,

kind. Ii is thought that she wandered
SO far from her home that she could not
find her way back, and afterward per-
ished of hunger and exposure.
